[PATCH v3 10/24] dmaengine: dw-edma: Prepare LL kicks for event serialization
From: Koichiro Den
Date: Mon Jul 27 2026 - 13:06:51 EST
Both eDMA and HDMA perform the same remote LL read-back immediately
before writing the doorbell register.
A later patch serializes each LL doorbell write against IRQ event
capture with a raw spinlock. Keeping the read-back in the provider
callback would hold that lock across a remote read. Move the common
read-back into a core kick helper, where it can run before the
serialized section, and leave dw_edma_core_ch_maybe_doorbell() to decide
whether a kick is needed.
No functional change.

Changes in v3:
- New prep patch split from "Centralize LL doorbell decisions" to keep
that policy change focused and the remote LL read-back outside the
event lock added later. (Sashiko)
